NEW YORK - Robert Downey Jr, the star of Disney’s Marvel superhero film franchises “Iron Man,” and “The Avengers,” is Hollywood’s highest paid actor for the second consecutive year, with estimated earnings of $75 million, according to Forbes.com. The 49-year-old star made most of his money from June 2013 to June 2014 from “Iron Man 3,” which made $1.2 billion at the box office and assured him the top spot again in the annual ranking. “As Iron Man, he’s the driving force behind four of Marvel’s biggest hits, including ‘The Avengers,’” Forbes.com said. Former wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, 42, who starred in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” and the “Fast and Furious,” films, jumped into second place this year from fifth in 2013 with earnings of $52 million, followed by “Hangover,” star Bradley Cooper, 39, with $46 million. “His work in the lucrative ‘Hangover,’ franchise has given him the ability to take risks with smaller films like ‘Silver Linings Playbook,’ and ‘American Hustle,’” Forbes

LAS VEGAS — Country superstar Shania Twain says she’ll end her residency in Las Vegas with a final show Dec. 13, two years after she began performing at Caesars Palace. Twain announced 16 “Shania: Still the One” shows in October and December, in addition to summer performances running through July 26 at the Colosseum. The singer known for hits including “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much” arrived in Las Vegas on horseback in November 2012. Traffic down the Las Vegas Strip was temporarily halted for the herd of horses that accompanied her on her grand entrance. Her stage show features trained horses, a live band and a flying motorcycle. Organizers said at the time that Twain’s residency would be a two-year engagement.

JAKARTA — Indonesian presidential election tally shows Jakarta governor Widodo wins 53 percent of vote. Meanwhile former Indonesian general Prabowo Subianto said Tuesday he rejected the presidential election process as unfair and that he was withdrawing from the contest as nearly complete results showed his opponent leading with 52 percent of the vote. The announcement came as the Election Commission was finalizing the tally of the July 9 election and preparing to declare a winner later Tuesday. Thousands of policemen were deployed around the commission’s building in downtown Jakarta to maintain security after a particularly nasty presidential campaign. Jakarta governor Joko Widodo, nicknamed “Jokowi” and known for his common man image, has maintained a slim lead of about 4 percentage points in unofficial “quick counts” by polling agencies released after the election. But Subianto, who has declared assets of $140 million and is on his third bid for the presidency, has repeatedly claimed that polling firms with links to his campaign showed
he was ahead. After meeting with leaders of his coalition parties Tuesday, he declared that there was massive fraud during the election and that it was undemocratic. “We reject the 2014 presidential election which is unlawful and therefore we withdraw from the ongoing process,” Subianto said. He ordered his witnesses to leave the commission building where the officials were counting votes from the final five provinces. The presidential campaign was Indonesia’s ugliest since the Muslim majority country of 240 million emerged from the long and brutal Suharto dictatorship 16 years ago. Supporters of both men used social media for personal
attacks, and Subianto’s supporters led a smear campaign against Widodo, spreading unfounded rumors he is not a Muslim. Widodo, a former furniture maker, is widely seen as untainted by the often-corrupt military and business elite that have run Indonesia for decades. He likes to wear casual plaid shirts, listen to heavy metal music and make impromptu visits to the slums. Some 190 million people were eligible to cast ballots to choose the next president for a five-year term. It takes about two weeks to collect and tabulate votes from nearly a halfmillion polling stations across the country’s 33 provinces. Social Unrest
The results could trigger social unrest such as clashes between supporters of the two candidates. Indonesia has experienced frequent outbreaks of political, ethnic and separatist violence during its transition to democracy. Continued on page 6
